I love ginger cats, they have such amazing markings. Not sure I’d want to get up close to one like him though. He has that “barking mad farm cat” look about him, even at rest. It’s a very arresting image.

Hello Stella – yes, this cat, and the others pictured earlier in this series (which include another shot of this one), are not creatures to be trifled with; these are working cats >>> and much as I love cats very much, having grown alongside one, I just talked softly to them but did not try to stroke them. I think “arresting” is a good word here, I’m glad the picture communicates that feeling to you. Adrian

He’s also got a “don’t mess with me” look about him. When Lynne was a teenager and her parents moved to Portishead, they got a cat from a farm. Turps may only have been a kitten when they got her, but the attitude stayed with her all her life. You messed with that cat at your own risk and it usually ended badly.

One word stands out in your reply, Stella, and that is Portishead >>> is that the Portishead near Bristol, do you have local connections?

Could have sworn I replied to this but it seems to have vanished. Yep, that Portishead. Lynne’s parents moved there in around 1972 and lived the rest of their lives there (on Woodlands Road if that means anything to you). We sold the house in 2016.
